Francesco Cangiullo
Italy (1884—1977)After irregular music studies, Cangiullo began his career as a songwriter, performing at the ever-popular Caffè Concerto. In 1910, he met Marinetti, who introduced him to Futurism. From 1913 onwards, he collaborated with the magazine Lacerba while also producing paintings and sculptures. Soon after Piedigrotta, he published Verde Nuovo, Caffè-Concerto: alfabeto a sorpresa and Il mobilio futurista. He was also creative director of the Compagnia del Teatro della Sorpresa, collaborating with Depero and Prampolini. In 1923, he created Poesia Pentagrammata, in which poems are written directly on music sheets. In 1924, Cangiullo broke with Futurism. In 1930, he published the memoir Le serate futuriste, recounting his experiences within the movement.
